Mounted through a wall, this transmitter measures relative humidity in room air to ±3% accuracy using a thermoset polymer capacitive element behind a hydrophobic filter. A matched 10,000 ohm Type III thermistor shares the housing, so humidity and temperature reach the controller from one enclosure. Field-selectable outputs cover 0-5 and 0-10 V DC and 4-20 mA.

The ACI Relative Humidity with Thermistor Room Series utilizes a thermoset polymer capacitive sensing element with a factory fitted hydrophobic filter to improve its moisture resistance. The sensing elements multilayer construction also provides excellent resistance in applications where dust, dirt, oils and common environmental chemicals are found. The RH room sensors include on board DIP switches which allow the user to select the desired output signal and can be powered by AC or DC power sources. Single point field calibration can be performed by using the increment and decrement calibration DIP switches to adjust your curve up or down in +/- 0.5% increments with each toggle of the corresponding switches.
